Keeping it Kaka'ako…read more.. Not sure if it's Kaka'ako Eats or Honolulu Baking Co but it's the home of the Starbucks treats they used to supply and I do come here to grab moms favorite Oatcake whenever I can and today was one of them. Located in more the industrial area near BJ Penn which is a lot of construction currently going with condominium rising everywhere you can still find a bit of old Kaka'ako here as this building is a massive bakery and was told that it goes all the way throughout with everything they need to bake up some yummy treats which they do. With the construction alone street parking is impossible but I just find a spot in the lot to park for quick pick up. The lady there is just a delight speaking so proudly of their facility and the yummy treats they have and some savory breakfast as well, give them a look as supporting local is easy and Ono! Thank you!

Love walking around a neighborhood then finding these little gems of places…read more Kakaako Eats just opened last month as an outdoor coffee and breakfast eatery featuring baked goods from Honolulu Baking Co and delicious savory bites ! It's a great little grab and go spot with a cute outdoor seating area. Perfect place to get some shelter from the sun and let your fur baby take a moment to rest while you enjoy one of their delicious breakfast burritos or stuffed bagels or tantalizing baked goods. The customer before me assured me that the Pineapple upside down cake would not disappoint. Learned that the baked goods are also sold at the Honolulu International Airport, catering events, and formerly was the main supplier for all the Starbucks in Hawaii. I remember those delicious amond croissants and oatcakes. And, yes, you can get those delicious baked goods at Kakaako Eats, on a rotating basis. Today they were featuring their pineapple upside down cake and fresh baked scones. I opted for a breakfast burrito and blueberry scone... for later. Then later came and time to enjoy the scone. Again, I was wowed by the deliciousness. For a mere $3 enjoyed the most delicious blueberry scone loaded with fresh blueberries. It was on the smaller side, but so was the price. I prefer it that way. Makes me want more. Maybe tomorrow when I walk my friend's fur baby. Scone 9/10 Breakfast burrito: consisting of wrap perfectly grilled, filled with turkey, white cheese, tater tots, and a whole lot of deliciousness. Served with the most delicious salsa (really... love) that housemade salsa. Also available breakfast bagels, breakfast sandwiches, the most delicious looking musubis, and other items on a rotating basis. ...Not hot enough? Use one of the "Adoboloco" hot sauces to kick it up a notch. Hot sauces also available for purchase here...just call ahead to order. 9/10. Pandan coffee: served iced cold and refreshing. Also available ube iced coffee. Will try that one next time. Perfect treat for a hot sunny day. 7/10. See more photos on their IG page under Kakaakoeats. Older photos there of sample photos from Honolulu Baking Company who has been serving the Kakaako area for many years. Also available through Honolulu Baking Company are evening meals by order. In order to get on their mailing list just email oatcake@honolulubaking.com Happy to have found this gem of a place in the heart of Kaka'ako, just off of Halekauwila Street. Looking forward to returning, whenever I want a little break or treat in the middle of the morning!

Lately, when browsing Uber Eats, the Strawberry Cream Cheese has been enticing me to reorder…read more Interesting that it's been exactly 11 months since I last ordered. I reordered the strawberry again via Uber Eats. This time, everything ran smoothly, from order, to driver pickup, to delivery. The driver even made a comment about how great the aroma was at the bakery. I liked that the bakery had placed the bread in a reusable Molokai Hot Bread Bag. Of course, I will keep it. Remembering how the strawberry bread fell apart while slicing it before, I tried a different tactic this time. I used disposable gloves which I had on hand at the office and carefully tore the loaf along the center crease. After I had the two halves separated, then I used a disposable plastic knife to slice through each half. The result was neater than our first brute-force approach almost a year ago. I enjoyed the bread much more this time, although I still had to be careful because there was so much filling. Others who tasted it liked it as well.

Fortunately, their food truck caught my eye and I pulled into the parking lot. After reading all the different signs on the door, I had to try it! The team members are friendly and accommodating as they break away from the baking/packing operation inside to help you. The scent of yeast and sugar wafts through the air as you ask them questions about the selection. Bottom line - start by buying a loaf of their 'pillowy' delightful bread, then tailor the fillings you enjoy at home (or try their fillings)! Hard to hit the road and reach home before you sample what you've bought!

Parking can be found mauka of the blue building, and is shared with the Ho'opono Services of the Blind. Park in the stalls marked for Lanakila Kitchen on the makai side of the parking lot. What brought me here are the scones. The scones can be found in some stores include certain Times Supermarkets and Don Quijote, but you can find them freshly baked here. They are sold as singles, doubles and they also cater too. Our favorites include the Lilikoi & Peach, Mango, and Ube flavors. The scones are incredibly moist with a nice crisp crust. The scones are half the amount you would pay outside of the kitchen, and it's recommended that you come to pick up the baked goods in the early morning. What is also served here are Kupuna lunches to go. Prices range from $6 to about $12. They typically serve three dishes per day. The monthly menu can be found on their website. These are the same foods that are served through the Lanakila Meals on Wheels services as this is the kitchen that prepares those meals. There is also a vending machine that sells frozen meals if you'd like to stock up on frozen meals for your kupuna or even children. Although Lanakila Kitchen caters to the elders, anyone at any age can purchase a meal. My son order the $6 Kimchi Jiggae (Soup) that came with rice and mac/green salad. There is no place to sit, and it's set up cafeteria style. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Bring a bag as they don't sell any. Lanakila Kitchen and Lanakila Meals on Wheels is a great service to our community.

I used to buy their lunch specials selectively now and then, but a few months ago they temporarily…read morestopped serving these due to staffing issues. During that time, they continued offering the same menu items available to Kupuna for free (with valid ID). On October 1, 2025, the lunch specials and daily soup options finally returned. I was so glad to see and taste these again that I've been making a point to buy them the last few days. Included with the daily specials is a choice of white or brown rice, and either cooked vegetables or tossed salad. From the business: "Lanakila Kitchen also provides opportunities for people with disabilities to unleash their dreams, learning new skills and maintaining employment in the food service industry." The kitchen entrance is to the right of the main Lanakila Pacific entrance, closer to the corner of Bachelot and Kuakini Streets. Look for the glowing red "OPEN" sign when they're open for business.

Not all Napoleon's are the same! The business model has…read morechanged over the years (downward) Price of pastry increased 3 fold over 3 years... go figure $ 2.45 per specialty donut (Today- Orange Swirl Glaze) $ 2.10 per regular glaze donut $ 3.99 per Napple This location has much to be desired. Here is my story They selection and quantity of pastry is slim; considering today was National Donut Day? Why not increase your inventory? I bought the 4 last glaze donuts until the truck comes in from Waipahu where their bakery and restaurant preparation facility is located. Their refrigerated gondola holding the pies and cakes that require refrigeration doesn't work well. Perspiration on the glass facia makes it hard to see the goodies. Entrance, Exit and Parking.... Boy oh boy I have too much to say about this but in short, entrance on Nimtz and Ala Moana Blvd and exit ONLY on Nimtz (heading west) so if you're heading back to Honolulu, be aware of the traffic exits. So why do I go to this location? Convenience if I'm heading back to downtown Honolulu and my unending desire to support local, especially an establishment that has been around a long while. AND they do have the best Rainbow Chiffon Cake on this island. BUT for this location, Rainbow Cakes available with an advance order only

This place gave off a cold and dead feeling upon entering the restuarant. Sour faces and not one hello greeting of any kind happening here. One of the guys faces looked like he was sucking on a super sour lemon. The good looked good and not to pricy. Nothing food was was over Six dollars till I cam to the front countets where prices rose to $12.XX. Since neither my wife or I felt a positive vibe from this place, we decided to look elsewhere.

Takeout breakfast from Straub Benioff Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. I've seen my friends checking in at this Cafe and wondered if it's all that... I knew that I could get the first half hour of parking for free in the structure, so I walked quickly. However, I ordered the Special of the Day: Steak and eggs... and it took a while because it's Made To Order. I was stressing out about the half hour time limit because I dislike paying for parking. The cafe was relatively easy to find. I just looked for the signs. I ordered with the cashier who filled out the order slip for me. I paid while I waited for my order... as soon as it came out, I rushed to my car and made it! Whew! Then, I had to find a place to eat where I could sit down and cut my steak with a plastic knife. Yes... It was challenging. I powered through because I was really hungry, so it tasted good... especially with ketchup which I got at the self-service station at the cafe... along with my utensils. I guess I would go again, but that 30 minutes of free parking is an obstacle for me. Maybe I should go on a Sunday or holiday when metered street parking is free?

They also offer sandwiches, salads, a small salad bar, plus soda and coffee stations with Starbucks coffee. The hot bar menu rotates daily, which keeps things interesting. One of my favorites is the ginger chicken. You can get three generous pieces of chicken thigh with a couple scoops of rice for about $13. I also really enjoy their shepherd's pie; it's hearty and comforting. There's also a simple, comfortable dining room next door with plenty of tables and chairs, making it a nice place to sit down and eat. Happy eating!! 43

When we want the latter, we gravitate to Bread House on Maunakea Street. They offer a variety of pastries, some of Asian orientation like red bean buns, char siu bao, and more standard offerings like doughnuts, bread, and rolls. They offer some interesting savory pastries, including an onion roll, which is a light roll with pieces of onion and mayonnaise, some with hot dog or sausage incorporated into the roll, and some strange (to me) rolls with corn and tuna. They sometimes offer blueberry cream cheese scones ... These are delicious, but I haven't seen them offered in a while. My favorites include the onion roll and the chicken curry doughnut. The person running the register could be friendlier, and you need to ask for a bag, otherwise you'll be carrying individual bags of pastries back to your office. I'll give them a 4+ rating for their pastries and a 2.5 for their "friendly" service.

I think he probably wanted me to space it out as breakfast for a few days but I couldn't help it. As soon as I saw the hot dog bun, I knew I had to have this savory treat. A hot dog with that unmistakable institutional taste is baked inside a soft, fluffy bread roll with cheese and scallions on top... what's not to love? I enjoyed every bite. A hot dog bun is my usual go-to to grab at any and all Asian pastry shops and finding one in the box Paul C. considerately bestowed was a treat. Come here and gift someone some baked goods. It will surely bring them a smile.
